Wind Sensors Powered by Acu-Res® Technology

Acu-Res® uses an acoustic (ultrasonic) wave which is resonated inside a small cavity. A strong resonating sound wave in a small space gives a signal to noise ratio more than 40db stronger than other ultrasonic technologies.​

Acu-Res® is unique to FT Technologies and is what gives our wind sensors a more robust and reliable measurement solution than mechanical anemometers and other ultrasonic wind sensors.

TESTED TO THE EXTREME

During testing FT sensors are exposed to one month of Amazon rainfall in one hour, repeatedly dropped onto concrete, cycled from Antarctic to Saharan heat, submerged in water, subjected to 8000 volts and exposed to corrosive salt spray.

After every test the wind sensors continue to work accurately. Click on each icon to learn more.

Lightning

Wind sensors may be exposed to high levels of electromagnetic interference from static discharges and nearby lightning strikes. Our FT7 Series sensors incorporate robust protection circuitry to shield them against these effects. They will survive undamaged even through lightning-induced surges in excess of 4kA 8/20μs.
